No shame in losing to pacquiao, he's still a man to be beat 147. Id love to see him vs Khan fight him. Won't happen though.

Why not Rios?
It'd be an easy comeback win.
Too bad Broner isn't under Top Rank. I'm not crazy about Tim, but he'd whip Broner.
Khan v Bradley would be nice but you're right it won't happen. Blame Floyd if ignoring the real issue is your thing.
Provo rematch makes sense in that it should be easy to make. But does Tim want that fight?
It's scary how few options he has. The Provo rematch seems like the only option. Am I missing others?
Dance dance revolution.
Seen as he'd rather dance than fight.
Tim just frankly needs to get his head outta his own ass. Have respected him even prior to beating up Witter but he fights with a little man syndrome when he has the even ability not to. He managed to mangle the world wide backlash of 1st many call into a even bigger victimization and it stung him. Hopefully they find a Provo rematch as I think Prov edged it the first time and will suck him right back into a battle.

Tim should rematch Jaime Rangel. That's someone who legit beat him lol
Where in California are you from Spicoli?
I like Bradley, but he doesn't have many options. Stay away from provodnikov. I think he is the type of savage to beat anyone around that weight now, to include Floyd and Manny. Not saying those two aren't great and better fighters, just saying Ruslan is a BEAST and will be hard to beat for the next couple of years. Durable guy with great chin, stamina, huge punch who is aggressive and not afraid of punishment. Hard guy for older fighters to beat (anyone really).
I think you greatly overrate Provo. He is too damn slow of foot. There's probably 15 guys between WW and Jr WW that can beat Provodnikov if they fight smart.Quote:

San Diego, more specifically Pacific beach. Get back on occasion but no where near what I'd like to see Family etc.
Bradley signed a long term contract with Job, so he has limited options. Prov 2, JMM 2, should he win Manny PAC 3. :-\ really we want to see him with Khan, Porter and Thurman. Boxing sucks.:mad:
And Khan, Porter and Thurman would all jump at the chance. I'd have Bradley taking 2 losses if he fought all 3.Quote:

His stock did rise due to the fact that he put on an exciting performance but WW list is short in Top Rank.
He can fight a tuneup, face provodnikov, then face the winner of Marquez-Pac 5..
